deserves over the years because he has been a good friend. >> why mr. cheney says president obama needs to be more careful handling egypt's crisis. >> and hate your boss? well, call the government. a new government hot line to hear your complaints and guess what? you're paying for it. "fox & friends" starts right now on a super bowl sunday. ♪ >> good morning everybody. peter johnson, jr. in for clayton morris this morning. >> good morning. >> we start with the latest in egypt. protesters are packing the streets once again. now, the 13th straight day, as you can see from the live images from cairo, about two o'clock in the afternoon there. this after members of president hosni mubarak resigned including his own son. and no indication to sit down

and opposition leaders met with egypt's vice-president, but there was no break through here. the protests continue and there are signs of normalcy, a limited number of banks, stores and fast food restaurants open for the first time in a week. >> you know, that's very important because let's remember, the square has at its height. 250,000 people. well, there are 80 million egyptians, many of whom want to get back to work, many who have not been able to work and stores and banks closed, as you just said. when you get outside of the square, you hear from egyptians who say, can we get back to our lives, please, back to making money? >> we've got to put food on the table. >> anecdotally, there are a lot of egyptians, poor are egyptians and older egyptians saying let's have a transition and make sure that it's orderly and let's as you say, get back to work about the business of making bread for daily life. >> meanwhile, what's the future there in egypt. some are concerned because the

muslim brotherhood, that rather radical group, the largest opposition group there in egypt has now already held talks with the egyptian government. according to the bbc they've already met with vice-president omar suleiman and mohamed el baradei, the former head of the nuclear watch dog, iaea. how concerning is that for the future. opinions vary, but some speculate they want sharreya law in egypt. >> here are some of the things the muslim brotherhood stand for. they say they denounce violence and they have a checkered past in terms of what they have stood for and said also to be the godfather of al-qaeda. they were founded in 1928. they were banned in egypt in 1954 and in fact, omar suleiman, the ex-vice-president now made a career out of tracking down all this, considered one of their enemies and they're egypt's oldest political organization, but here is what is interesting. they want to control how women

dress. they want to segregate male and female. they want a separate curriculum for girls. forget violence for a second. the and they stand for things in terms of gender relations that we would think are backward and would not be comfortable. >> and they stand for the koran and some say they gave birth to al-qaeda. >>, but we have to respect that. >> and egypt stands for that, sharreya is the basis of egyptian law and you have to understand, also, you go back and look at 2006 poll done in egypt. 92% of the people in egypt believe that israel was their enemy, another recent poll shows that 84% of egyptians believe if you encourage in adultery you should be stoned and a similar amount says if you leave the muslim religion you should be killed. so, obviously, there is a deep-seated islamic basis in this society and the muslim brotherhood is tapping into that in a cultural and religion way and i don't think

there's any question going forward, whatever the configuration of this government is, that they're going to be playing a role. >> well, look, some say they have 30% of the vote there in egypt. that's a rather large percentage. >> no real votes over the years, there have been one party elections. >> hard to measure. >> no one really knows. >> and the muslim bror hood, officials are saying the priority is changing the regime and the transition of power to a democratic system. if we find something as sincere and the situation is good. we withdraw. that's big laboring language. if they're in power. >> yeah, hard to tell. >> the square is in the center of the protests. a fox group shows what life is like inside that square. leland vittert is live in cairo this morning. we hope all is safe for all the journalists there. we know a lot have left the country. >> there's no request a lot of people have left and there was

time where there was-- it actually felt pretty secure and we walked over there probably about a mile from where i'm standing now across the nile river. as you walk in, there was an army check point there and they were patting people down and then guns you got inside the square, the protesters themselves formed sort of this pair cade of people and they then patted you down and talked to you for a minute and obviously, they're trying to keep the pro mubarak guys out of the square. inside the square it's absolutely packed. there's a huge number of people inside there, and to the letter, every person we talked to was not happy with this idea of a slow transition and resignation for the party and this other kind of stuff and they want mubarak gone and that's the only message we kept hearing coming out of the square, but the square seems largely peaceful and a lots of protesters worked to clean up from the violence that happened earlier in this week and this is a workday in cairo and a lot of people seemed as though they were on the way to work also. a lot of people obviously were inside the protests sleeping in the square and saying

they're going to stay there until mubarak leaves. that's the message we get. they are a not happy with transitional move they simply want him gone then we'll talk. pretty amazing to be inside there and of course today is the day of martyr remembrance and trying to remember all those people killed. back to you guys. >> thanks so much, leland. >> meanwhile, former vice-president dick cheney has interesting things to say on hosni mubarak. obviously, dick cheney was in office and had to deal with hosni mubarak during the the bush presidency and basically what he said is that mubarak has been a good friend to the united states. let's listen. >> the reason why a lot-- there are good reasons for there to be, confidential shalty and some of those communications and i think president mubarak needs to be treated as he deserved over the years 'cause he has been a

good friend. >> there's no doubt that mr. mubarak and egypt has been a good friend to the united states and to israel so it kind of reflects this kind of flip-flop mode we've been in here in the united states where we're trying to encourage the people in liberation square in cairo, as we hear more and more about the muslim brotherhood, listen, we had it pretty good in terms of mubarak. how can this government transition in an orderly way that not only protects the people of egypt, but protects the people of the united states and israel? and i think the vice-president cheney is reflecting that and also reflecting the fact that we had an incredibly close relationship with the new vice-president of egypt, through the cia and egyptian intelligence over many years. >> this comes the day after the president, president obama said he's a patriot, that president mubarak is a separate. this man helped us out in the

gulf war in 1991 and several times militarily helped the region. is he a friend of the egyptian people right now? no and dick cheney did say, the future of egypt does lie with the people of egypt. the didn't necessarily support him going forward, i think looking back. >> it shows how complicated this is, how complicated a line it is for the white house to be walking right now and we'll talk more about that throughout the show and let's get to the rest of the headlines. the an iranian court has opened for the three americans accused of spying, but held behind closed doors. chene bowers, josh and sarah shourd were detained in 2009 after they allegedly crossed over in iran. shourd was released in september, but the two men remain in custody and no word whether she will return to iran for the trial or appear remotely. an iranian lawyer representing

the same storm that causes problems in texas today where we've got the big game going on and good thing we're inside. 40 degrees, a few rain showers, maybe a bit of snow after the game during the overnight hours and 40 degrees. look at the rest of the country right now and we'll take a look at the satellite radar picture. across the east, parts of florida dealing with rain showers and a cold front is going to be bringing the rain showers and probably not making its way to miami if you're good for the day. but the northeast clearing out and plenty of sunshine. chicago a few snow showers as well and in the west, ran in parts of texas and new mexico, but the pacific northwest, later this afternoon we'll start to see the rain and snow move on in and that's the next storm. a big one for us, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, much to the south of here and talking about more rain, more snow, more freezing rain so a bit of a rough one and i think after that, we're going to calm things down it looks like for at least maybe five to six days, that'd be great news.

and quickly, take a look at high temperatures for the day today. shaping up like this, not that bad. enjoy them, because tomorrow the temperatures are going to drop once again. send it back to you inside. >> thanks, you're talking about borrowing that recliner. ala lindsay lohan. >> and do you call the government hot line to hear your complaints and guess what you might be paying for it? >> and first with all the protests in egypt closer to forming a new government, a top foreign policy and security expert is next on that. >> and we're going live with brian, talking with super bowl champ joe theisman coming up, brian and joe. prsso. hi. we love your weight watchers endorsed soups but my husband looks t way he did 20 years ago. well that's great. you haven't seen him... my other can is nging. progresso. hey can you tell my wife to relax and enjoy the vi?

a massive group of people. this as we learn key members of the government have resigned despite president mubarak's refusal to step down. so is egypt closer to a new government? james karafano is director of foreign policies at the heritage foundation, an expert on national security and good morning, doctor. >> good to be with you. >> are we getting close are to getting this resolved and should we be concerned about the muslim brotherhood taking over egypt? >> well, what we-- we see the strategy on both sides clearly, on the government side it's the minimalist approach and give the minimum that you can to make the transition as slow as possible. on the opposition side, you see, you know, nothing is acceptable until we get rid of mubarak and we saw the first crack in that yesterday. we saw people negotiating with the government when they said they weren't going to until mubarak left and we've also soon some kind of economic

life creep back into cairo which they didn't want. whether this is a trend line we are going to go on or whether it's kind of a turning-- you know, something is going to explode from here, way too soon to tell. >> are we on the right trend line here in the united states? are we doing what we need to do to protect our interests and the interests of our allies, including israel and handling the situation right now? >> well, you know, that's really a great question. i think sometimes the problem with the white house, they are sitting at their television trying to micromanage events in egypt which of course is possible, because the stake holders in egypt are going to have the biggest thing, particularly in the army and the way forward, but lots that the administration going to be. iran is a bad actor, linked to hamas and hezbollah. hezbollah and the muslim brotherhood are kissing cousins, we should be putting the screws to iran the more you leave them alon the more dangerous they are. >> we're running out of time.

how do we put the screws to iran to protect the united states and israel in the context of egypt? >> well, you know the united states has sanctions and now the administration, people, the sanctions are actually showing some effect and what the administration is actually doing, let's back off without fully implementing things and they've got that backwards and fully implementing the sanctions there and piling more on and pushing iran back into the box and the number one thing they can do to keep the middle east more stable in addition to reaffirming our alliance and importance of israel in the region. >> our last question, are we reforming that alliance in a public fashion and doing it enough? are we letting the world know we intend to stand behind israel whatever happens in egypt? >> i think that's the number one thing the united states could be doing letting everybody in the region know, nobody is going to steel a march on the u.s. alliance and it's an important ally for us and i think that would be a stabilizing factor in terms of letting people know where the united states is going to-- >> as well as finishing the

but this is my whole thing. >> it has to be fried and start with wings. is that where it begins? >> honestly, when your he' doing your party, you have to think as a guest. and maybe somebody is in post holiday diet and maybe somebody watched oprah this week and decided to be vegan. cru detay is not a feast. and you've got to have enough food. >> rule number one. rule number two. >> number two. >> you have to have oh, i want more chili or, ruin the partiment and serveware, you have to be overprepared. >> and you have to have a nice chair so as we throw to brian kilmeade down in dallas, i'm going to sit down in my ashley furniture recliner. brian, what have you got down there, buddy? >> and put this one in. >> it works fine. >> and brian, what's going on,

other teams have done and it doesn't matter because don capers and dick la bow, both defensive coordinators work at pittsburgh, a mirror type of defense and packers and steelers worked against these defenses all year. >> and north text test has the super bowl, they're coming back despite the weird weather. the big story a strike, first time in ten years major sport of the nfl is looking at a strike. do you think we're headed to a lockout the first week in march. >> i do, unfortunately i think a lockout. i don't know why and this is the biggest problem i think with the players, why is it taking so long for both sides to sit down and finally start negotiations, these are major negotiations, as the commissioner stated he wants it done within two weeks, why couldn't they say i i'd like it done two months ago? i think that's the frustration of everybody. >> right. >> i'm sure some of the owners as well as the players, why couldn't you start resolving it months ago. >> as a guy a long time in washington. do you know american people have no patience in this economic climate for a group

of people that can't split 9 billion a year. it's totally different this time. >> it will although we play so few games, people will come back, come back to the game. if there's a work stoppage or problem with it, i think it will be resolved. no question how long it will be be, i'm not sure. >> the hall of fame. you're in the college hall of fame, not the nfl, but yesterday your teammate chris handberger and deion sanders and-- >> another one that went in, richard dent another one. i just think, i think the hall did a great job of selecting very, very worthy people. >> what do you remember more about all the years in the super bowl, games you played in or your appearances on fox and friends. >> always appearance on "fox & friends," something i look forward to. i'll never play another super bowl. >> if you were to wear a helmet, would it be a sing are bar. >> i had a he wear a single bar.

joining us now is karen, the president of united teachers of dade and melissa barton a mother against tenure. thanks for being here. >> and good morning the. >> karen, i want to start with you, what's wrong with making teachers pay merit-based? >> the first thing is that teachers do not have tenure. what we have is contracts and of course, we want to adhere by our contracts. so, i just want to set the record straight on that. >> oh, okay. melissa, is that-- you've been in this game for a long time. ever since what happened to your son in kindergarten where he was voted out at the hands of his teachers, is that accurate that teacher tenure doesn't exist in florida. >> if you're technically speaking, i guess it is. let me tell you something, tenure has been around since 1917 and the idea of tenure is exactly that here in florida. despite what you want to call it, we do have tenure and it is impossible.

it takes a military jaunt to remove bad teachers in the classroom, trust me, i know. and if we get the teachers removed, they have the opportunity to come back. tenure cost exist, it may not be called tenure, but it's certainly exactly tenure. >> and karen, i think that parents, what some parents object to is that you can call it contract, you can call it tenure, but basically it's protecting some incompetent teachers. do you think that's a problem? >> i do not think that that is what we're really talking about. the whole thing is that teachers have contracts. everyone should adhere to a contract. if people have something that goes awry, then, there is an opportunity to emove that teacher. >> how, because that-- >> and it goes through, it goes through the process. >> i'm sorry to interrupt for a second. >> okay. >> because we've heard so many stories in the media and melissa's son is one of them. teachers who have performed poorly are protected and there's no way to remove them

from the classroom. sure, maybe a three-week suspension, but beyond that go right back to the classroom. >> well, i think that you're talking about a process where teachers do have the right to have their side of any confrontation heard and the facts of-- but do they have the right to-- >> i hate to interrupt you. >> and settled. >> i hate to interrupt, but do you make-- >> okay, you can interrupt. that's fine. >> do they have the right, do they have the right to abuse these children. absolutely not and this is a problem. >> you can respond. >> thank you. i don't want any child abused and i certainly want every child to have a warm welcome in a classroom and to have a place where they are appropriately placed. and i also want teachers to do the jobs that they do so well for millions of american students. when things happen that teachers are removed from their classrooms, there is a process and if the outcome of the process is to remove the teacher, the teacher is and

can be fired. >> all right. >> individual, individual instances, we don't know the facts of every case that's being presented. >> and i see you shaking your head and-- >> i know in my son's case. >> i know your story, tells a different story and outcome. melissa and karen, thanks for coming in and obviously this continues and we'll keep the viewers posted in florida what happens with tenure and contract. meanwhile, sarah palin slamming president obama, why she says the 3 a.m. phone call went right to voice mail. and then, remember this super bowl commercial? >> it's over, this is mexico! >> we're going to look at why some ads connect better than others. that's next. if i ask sheila out?

we were crazy. i'm for the paradigm, outside the box thinking. >> it's over and this is mexico. >> and our productivity has gone up 46%. we're getting more from our employees than ever before. >> you know you need a cover sheet on your report! hey janice! >> oh! it's game time is pain time, baby! baby! >> now the average ad gets about a score of somewhere between 40 and 50 and that was in the 70's and 80's and the red line are the men, green lun are the women's. i'm going to show you an ad that's the most emotional ad. in fact, only twice have people cried, actually cried during the super bowl and both of them are anheuser-busch ads and this one, very powerful, demonstrating public support

for the troops. let's take a look. ♪ (applause) ♪ >> that's one of the best ads i've ever seen, frank. no dialog and yet, i still have goose bumps. >> it's emotional and i always try to use that as the last ad

alert. the latest in egypt, things develop in the square. protesters have hit the square again in egypt and this is the 13th straight day. president hosni mubarak resisted any calls to resign, but members of his ruling party have quit, including mubarak's own son, reports at one time, the heir apparent to him and opposition leaders met with egyptian vice-president omar suleiman. >> there's signs that life is slowly getting back to normal for some of the 80 million residents. banks are open and limited basis and many stores and restaurants also opened their doors for the first time in a week and we discussed it this morning, that's an important step. there are so many millions of egyptians that want and need to get back to life. they need to put food on the table. they want this democracy, they want their voices to be heard, but let's be honest, hey, they've got to feed their children and got to continue with life. >> now we know the muslim brotherhood is about to hold

talks with the government about a plan to go forward in egypt. we spoke earlier this morning with ed hussein, former muslim brotherhood member, and this is what he had to say. >> by constantly attacking the muslim brotherhood, of course, sometimes the right thing, and sometimes and often the wrong thing, we end up making them more popular in the arab street and parliamentary present and it's right to be critical of the muslim brotherhood because it still has a fanciful idea, some way, some day it will create an islamic state in egypt. that's the bad news. the good news is that the egyptian muslim brotherhood is no way clear what they mean by it, how it would manifest and what relations for the rest of the world. there's good news and bad news. >> well, it's not just an islamic state in egypt, as far as i understand, from what i read they want to create it from spain to indonesia. the muslim brotherhood wants

sharreya law and an islamic state through europe and the middle east and it's complicated. as we heard from our guest he was a former member of the muslim brotherhood and he said basically that some of the high profile members who basically graduated from the muslim brotherhood, talking about al-zawhiri that they left because the muslim brotherhood was not radical and violent enough for them. >> yeah, you see the slogan there, islam is the solution, it's been around since 1928 and banned though in egypt since 1954. this is the group some say created al-qaeda, a group that you don't want anywhere near the leadership of government, but they represent between 20 and 30%, according to estimates, of egyptians. they do say they will not run anyone for president to replace president mubarak and in fact, they do say to the new york times, we are standing for a real democracy, with general freedom and a real sense of social justice.

there are a lot who really fear their being in control of this country moving forward. >> and also a statement by the official of muslim's brotherhood, they tend to look hard at israel, with the treaty with israel. >> i think that is the united states' chief fear, what happens with relations with israel. >> absolutely. >> meanwhile, sarah palin sat down with christian broadcasting network yesterday, i believe. she had ten minute interview with david brody there and she talked about how she is he' disappointed with the way that the white house and president obama have been handling egypt. let's listen-- well, let me read to you what she's said. and referring to campaign ads that hillary clinton put out in 2008. a 3 a.m. white house phone call and seems for many of us trying it get that information from our leader at the white house, seems the call went right to the answering machine and nobody yet has explained to the american public what they know and now, more than ever we need strength and

sound minds in the white house and what it is that america stands for so we know who it is that america will stand with. >> she may stand alone at this point in terms of harshly criticizing president obama and his handling of the egyptian situation. there hasn't been a whole lot of it from either side of the aisle because the president has been fairly consistent. and then on saturday, i think, a real turn that the president did not fact-- expect and hand delivered a message to president mubarak and that's frank wisner said, president mubarak's continued leadership is critical, it's his opportunity to write his own legacy. hillary clinton, secretary of state, tried to walk back that statement in germany on saturday. though, some confusing messages. and-- >> and some confusion, also, the new york times story, yesterday, basically saying that the president was miffed or angry that he hadn't received information in a timely fashion. the state department and ea

ears-- others have been walking that back and it was almost the president's point, i didn't get the 3 a.m. phone call. >> wasn't there a breakdown? i found one report, that 5 million people joined facebook in the 30 days prior to this uprising and clearly something was going on and that stuff is monitored by intelligence agencies. why didn't we know? >> well, by the way, the cia says that they did know that and they did try to alert the white house and the white house says that they were not tapped on the shoulder at all. >> the cia viewpoint is well, we've told you all along it's not good, but you know, we can't tell you what specific situation is going to light it up. >> in the meantime we should talk about what former vice-president dick cheney has said about the full egypt crisis, almost in many ways the opposite of what sarah palin has said because dick cheney says we need to be very careful about letting people in on our diplomatic dealings. listen to him. >> there's a reason why a lot

of-- we've got the secrets. there's good reasons for confidentiality and some of those communications and i think president mubarak needs to be treated as he deserved over the years 'cause he has been a good friend. >> and that is a surprise to many of you, but he has been a friend to the united states. he has helped us militarily and specifically in the gulf war helping us get aircraft through there and helpful in the relationship with israel and shows you how complicated the situation this is, how hard it is to handle for the president and you're dealing with a friend of the united states. and although, clearly siding with the citizens of egypt. >> and clearly, in spite of the great-- at fox we are not going to know what dozens of military or cia officials are flying in and out of of egypt over the last week and what meetings are being held and what cables are being sent, although i think thr he' probably afraid saying cables now based on the wikileaks. >> as they should be. >> and what is being sent and

what is being planned for the future in terms of protecting america's interest in the region. >> yes, but what we know, we'll bring it to you of course just as we are now with your headlines because hundreds of police in braunsfel are searching for a missing boy. joshua davis was last seen inside his home. and they went door-to-door before searching a nearby wooded area. so far no sign of the toddler. if you have any information, call 911. >> bank agreed to pay 400 million dollars in allegedly it charged customers overdraft fees and the suit is one of several filed against the bank in 14 states and a spokesperson for bank of america says the company has already changed its overdraft president bushings. >> former president george w. bush will not be going to switzerland next week as planned. president bush was scheduled to speak in geneva, but the trip was called off because of

security concerns. extremist groups reportedly asked protesters to throw shoes as someone did three years ago. the white house is throwing a super bowl party and among those on the guest list, american idol judge jennifer lopez and husband singer marc anthony, part owners of the miami dolphins. >> how interesting. >> on the rest of the list mostly cabinet secretaries and politicians and including pennsylvania senators bob casey and pat toomey and read rible who represents green bay. and it says it will be traditional football foods i'm guessing wings, nachos. >> i don't think so, you can't just put out a tray of wings. >> julie. >> and it's got to be different, something different. >> fancy stuff. >> we'll find out by the end of the show. >> fois gras. >> rick reichmuth wouldn't

tomorrow into tuesday and tuesday night into wednesday, and potentially a big weather maker across parts of the central plains again. look how much snow, most of this is tuesday and wednesday and areas of oklahoma hammered with the storm last week and more snow on the the way and another six to 12 inches, hate to say it, guys, more winter coming your way. >> oh, goody, thank you, rick. >> you bet. >> all right. does your boss bum you out? help is on the way. if so, the government, if you can believe this the white house set up a plan whereby if you really don't like your boss or feel aggrieved by something your boss has done. you can call a hot line and-- >> and the american bar association, so what are you going to do for us if we call up. >> i wasn't aware that until today and i've got problems, but keep going tell us more about it. >> you get to call the american bar association and

basically you get to have access to the best legal minds and you get to see if you have a lawsuit against your boss and you don't even have to pay for it unless you win. >> it's not pro bono work by the american bar association lawyers. it's based on a koncontingency basis. don't you lean towards, hey, let's create a case here. >> let's create a case. the no, if there's a case, you'll bring a case. you're not going to create a case. >> you know what i'm saying, leads towards bringing a case. >> if there's facts in law that support a case you bring a case. the problem i have the government being in the business of recommending lawyers to people and they're doing that in other programs with regard to foreclosure, with regard to a couple of other things as well. so, now, with the american bar association become an adjunct or a government agency now, and we know the problems of

trial lawyers, support for the president here in the united states, it's a kind of strange thing. vice-president biden says it's part of the middle class initiative and people should have access to the legal-- but should the government be doing it? no, there's no similar program for small businesses. it's only for people-- >> exactly. >> to bring claims against small businesses and people get hurt. but should the the government be fostering it? that's the issue. we'll put your phone number out to viewers right now. >> they know where to find me. >> all right. e-mails us and let us know. >> on twitter. >> the trial for americans held in iran for spying starts today. what can we expect from a country that's known for its questionable legal system, developing details ahead. >> then, he's the man who gave michael vick a second chance. signing him to a national endorsement deal after the controversial player spent three years in prison. brian live from dallas with that interview.

this. i know that money is involved, but the commissioner all year talks about protecting players, first and foremost, the violent hits, cutting back and yet, he wants to add two games to the nfl season which would add a the lot of pain and suffering to the very players he's trying to protect. and that is something i can't quite reconcile. is that a question you might ask him today? >> dave, have you been looking at my questions? (laughter) >> no. >> no it's a great question and i'm going to ask it and you know, you're exactly right, because, i mean, it's one of the the things he's got to reconcile on the one hand and there are a the lot of employers who are critical of the the commissioner, 'cause he has cracked down on the linebacker james harrison fined $100,000 this season for hits to the head and all of this concern about concussions and injuries and exactly as you say, he wants to add two games to the regular season. instead of 16 games, 18 games, a lot of people say there's

apo apol apolljst. he used to talk about how jesus was not just a good guy. he was either a liar, if that's a fact, a lunatic, or if he was who he said he was and he was a very principled, principled man. that's what he he saw. god is or isn't. jesus was or wasn't and he stuck by that. >> he crossed lines in terms of religion. after he was shot, father, cardinal cook came to the white house to visit him because they thought he needed the ministry. he wasn't afraid-- >> no, he he wasn't. he didn't buy into this thing that, hey, i'm religious privately, but it can't affect my politics in any way. let me give you an example. he he said that he survived the assassination attempt because he believed he had a mission from god. if a politician said i have a mission from god this day, he they would get killed by the mass media.

he believed it, very deeply. >>, but he didn't necessarily pick a church ever, right, in his political career. i certainly didn't, didn't make it a political, i would say, a motive for voting for him. he wasn't going to a church like, you know, some presidents in recent history, that had a church that was very much a political church, right? he was very much private and his mother had a deep impact on his life and his pastor had a very deep impact on his life and this is a man who believed very solidly in principle that rights, for example, this is the whole conservativism, comes from god. individual's rights. therefore, the government does not have, should not have, should not exceed their power. >> father jonathan thank you for coming in and giving us this history and insight. we appreciate t the former first lady, nancy reagan is set to commemorate her late husband and laying a wreath at

>> welcome back to "fox & friends," super bowl sunday. ronald reagan's 100th celebration going on. plenty of news as well. >> let's get to the headlines, there's a closed door trial for the hikers accused of spying in iran and begun with two of the hikers in court. and we go live to amy kellogg with the details in london. >> hi, alisyn, our understanding is that the hearing today is over and i don't know whether that means that some decision has been made or whether this is being

carried over, but our understanding is that the hearing is done for today. now, the lawyer for the hikers, iranian lawyer on the ground there in the courtroom, phone is switched off as of five minutes ago and i just spoke with an iranian colleague and other journalists in iran who is trying to get information as well and he understands this is done for the day, but no information yet. of course, the hikers are being accused of being american spies and that's something that they have denied and something that the u.s. government, alisyn, repeatedly denied and even iranian lawyer said they are completely innocent. now, this hearing today, which is being called the trial was held, as you mentioned behind closed doors and something called the 15th branch of the revolutionary court. the two hikers, josh and shane, were inside, along with their lawyer, but the swiss ambassador, who represents u.s. interests in iran, because tehran and washington don't have formal relations, was not allowed to go inside.

now, they were of course picked up in the summer of 2009, just a little background when they allegedly strayed into iranian territory while hiking in iraqi kurdistan and taken into custody by iran's revolutionary gored. the three hikers, sarah shourd, included in that group were reunited back in may of last year and sarah shourd was released on bail because she was suffering from some health problems and iran requested, alisyn, that she return to face charges and she has not returned. again, this is wrapped up today and i spoke with someone who has been very close to the proceedings, the back and forth between washington and tehran on this. he said that he thinks in a sense, it is a good thing for the judiciary to be out of this at some point soon so that the executive branch like the president wants to pardon these guys, he can. back to you, alisyn. >> let's hope that this ends with an outcome with them coming home. >> absolutely alisyn. >> thank you for the update,

possession after calling 911 after a self-incriminating question. >> i was just growing some martin man and i was just wondering what-- how much, you know, trouble you can get into for one plant. >> you know, they say there is he' no stupid questions, just stupid people and 21-year-old robert mickleson got an answer to the question and we've traced his call and charged him with marijuana possession and other crimes and later released on $500,000 bond. and exhibit a. >> just call a lawyer, man. rick reichmuth is outside in the man cave for a check of our super bowl forecast, hey, buddy. >> guys, i couldn't figure out this chair because-- >> it wasn't-- >> and you plug in chairs now. who knew that the chair had to be plugged in. i like it though, it's a lot less work, which is important if you're in a lazy boy, not a lazy boy, an ashley furniture

recliner. the temperature game day. 40 degrees, showers moving through and i think snow flurries afterwards and not anything that's go to cause major problems on the road. that's good news. move forward, take a lk a little farther towards the west and we have winter weather advisories, across the panhandle. and you see the pink across colorado and wyoming, talking winter storm warnings in effect and one to two feet of snow. and a banner ski season is going on in colorado and looks like it's going to continue and get out there if you can. move forward and take a look at the satellite picture. nice for the east and a few showers down across florida and you notice towards texas where you see the storm that's going to bring the rain and snow later on. a few snow showers in across chicago today not that it's going to cause major problems and then we shift our attention across parts of the west where we're going to be seeing a new storm pull into the pacific northwest and that's going to be our storm for tuesday, wednesday and thursday, across the rockies and eventually in across much

of the south. we're going to be talking about another winter storm across the south. and texas and oklahoma seeing heavy snow and eventually, probably more snow for mississippi and alabama, and maybe north georgia as well and we'll watch that as a potential storm later on this week across parts of the pacific-- across parts of the northeast, if i could say all that. and because i've been distracted by the big party going on out here with ali and peter. >> thanks, rick! >> there's a party going on in the fox man cave. >> and peter's natural habitat, the man cave. i'm disoriented in the man cave. >> with wonderful women, i'm so-- >> it's not a party without us here. >> party planner extraordinare. >> she's a party city celebration expert. >> the best job in the world and my life is about celebrating and making every day a party. what do we need to know about the super bowl party. >> the question, what do you do about center pieces. >> i'm sticky about center

pieces. >> it's not flowers, it's knots that type of party. this is slow down, relax and have fun and big, so the at the bare minimum. balloons, i cannot stress enough, balloons are the the international symbol for partying. and balloons solve our problems and tie them on to the ice buckets and tie them to the cupcake stands and balloons are a no-brainer and this is what i love most of all. >> and mega phones. >> i think so, personally. >> i like that. and-- >> and the party, this is what they say, so, i love, obviously, shopping party city and one of the things that's so fantastic. it's a fun emporium. as you're going up and down the aisles, thinking super bowl party, i can shop in the super bowl section. >> and sometimes you can have a guest as a center piece, if someone has too much beer in the party and redecliner and put things around them. >> this is what i'm thinking. in this party, i would think,

outside the box and maybe go to the wedding section? >> add a pompon and i saw you working the pompons. >> and you're not going to let me talk about the goodies at party city. >> are they still there, what time are they open. >> they're open right now. >> they're open right now at party city. >> and the pompons. >> the pompons, because there are no cheer leadsers at the game. >> and ashley chairs, party city. >> and-- >> slum. and i love it. >> thank ashley furniture for providing the great new chairs. >> of course. >> and it's all about making your guests comfortable while you're partying and these the key and hanging out with friends and there is no wrong as long as you're having fun. >> thanks for being a good sport. >> and peter-- >> we're going to-- >> and all right. dallas. >> hey, guys, that looks great. back out to cowboy stadium now. if you want to find out what's going on in the super bowl,

even at high levels of play like the nfl? >> michael vick took a direct shots to his chest, cracked his ribs and they called us up to build a chest protector and figured if it could stop a bullet it could stop a blitz. after getting hit in the chest eight times he said it made him feel invincible. >> and he kept-- you signed him to endorsement deal. how do you feel about that? it's a bit after risk considering what he's been through. >> it's been fantastic. of course, we took a little static, but in one day about 10 million hits to the website in every single newspaper and news show across the world so it's well worth it. >> so here is kevlar. >> kevlar, soft as a bed sheet, but yet, this is five times stronger than steel. think about that. >> right. >> so, and that would be a bunch of layers that would stop a bullet in the battle field. how does it work in shoes? >> we put it into the bottom of the show so when the impact hits the bottom of the shoe it bounces back out to the street. >> so, in other words, kids can go faster and safer.

the shin splints, the foot problems, disappear even for arnold palmer. >> professional athletes, right down to moms and kids, and playing stronger and running longer. >> and underarmor, nike, they're coming after you. are you going out on your own or-- >> it's something to be seen. >> right. and this is also going for the soldiers out in the field to keep them safe. >> reducing 50% of the impact to the soldier's chief and making them safer. >> unequal. thank you, an entrepreneur innovating always out of the economic problems. thanks, ron. >> thanks. >> back to you. >> no quarterback has been hit harder than michael vick this year. coming up will the uprising in egypt take a turn for the worse. rpt they responsible for the rise of al-qaeda. a mideast expert is here next. decisions, decisions.

as the muslim brotherhood sits down for talks with the government. all while protesters refuse to leave egypt's streets on this 13th day. here to help us all analyze what this means is the director of the middle east forum, daniel pike. good morning, mr. pike, how are you. >> good morning. >> what do you make of it at this point? are we reading too much into this so-called democratic revolution? is democracy on the way as we see it here in the united states for egypt? >> i doubt it very much. and mostly because democracy is a process that takes years and even decades, not days and weeks. secondly, because if you look specifically at what's taking place in egypt, there's no real democratic factors. and that being said, the muslim brotherhood meeting

with the vice-president is momentous development. >> momentous in what way and b, is it frightening to israel and the united states that they have so much capacity now for power and leadership in that country? >> momentous because the regime. the mubarak regime has stood for stability and keeping the islam and muslim brotherhood-- the muslim brotherhood for its part is breaking ranks with all those on the street who say they won't negotiate with the vice-president until hosni mubarak is gone and both sides, i think, major concession, where this leaves us, i can't tell you, but it's very important itself. is it dangerous, yes, very dangerous for all concerned. but more broadly, two great blocks in the middle east. iranian backed revolutionary and the saudi-backed, egypt is a major element in the-- it's now in danger of moving into the iranian block.

captioning by, closed captioning services, inc. >> alisyn: good morning, sunday, february 6th, i'm al lynn camarata, thanks for joining, attempts to end the uprising in egypt take a surprising turn, we are learning the muslim brotherhood is taking part in transition talks today. what does it mean for the future of the embattled government? >> dave: a push for tsa workers to get union rights. could that put our security at risk? hear from someone who says it could be a really bad move. >> one of the main reasons to tune into the super bowl, to see the amazing ads. >> oh, baby, check this out! ♪ ♪ >> don't hurt my dog!

>> come on! ♪ ♪ >> we'll have a sneak peek of other super bowl commercial. "fox & friends" starts right now. >> alisyn: that was disturbing! >> alisyn: breaking news to get to, a "fox news alert," egypt's vice president has met with major opposition groups for the first time today, including the long outlawed muslim brotherhood. and vice president omar suleiman is already making concessions, he's agreed to allow freedom of the press and will release those detained in protests purportedly and signed onto plans to form a committee to study electoral reform including term limits on the president presidency and these are things the demonstrators called for. >> dave: it comes as

demonstrators are on the streets for a 13th day now, demanding president hosni mubarak go immediately, but, members of the ruling class have resigned, including his own son, who some speculated would take over and this as banks, stores and restaurants reopen, now, on a limited basis for the first time in a week, guys and it sounds like there are at least whispers of this government going forward. that the president would remain as a figure head. would go out to that house and then, hosni mubarak would just be a figure head and would not be in charge, he'd lose his powers, and suleiman would be in charge of the country in terms of moving the transitional government. >> and there's a lot of different things going on and mohamed el-baradei is allegedly helping prepare a new constitution for egypt, and, context of the whole thing is that the muslim brotherhood conversations with the government are historic. based on the fact that that

organization has been basically banned in egypt for many, many years. earlier this morning, ed hussein, a former muslim brotherhood member, talked about the good and the bad within the group and how we should be viewing their participation, now. >> by constantly attacking the muslim brotherhood, sometimes the right and sometimes the wrong thing, we make them more popular on the arab street where they'll have a significant parliamentary presence but it is right to be critical of the muslim brotherhood because it still has a fanciful idea that it will someday create an islamic state in egypt and that is the bad news. but the good news is the egyptian muslim brotherhood is no way clear as to what they mean about it and how it woman fest with relation to the rest of the world. >> alisyn: and i read it is not just an islamic state in egypt,

they want an islamic empire and there are a lot of question about that but the fact it happened in 13 days, it was previously unthinkable 14 days ago, the to the lawed group, some say the godfather of al qaeda, though he said we shouldn't vilify them, it strengthens their resolve, in two weeks that it happened in egypt is astonishing. >> dave: but he brings up a good point, if you keep them out and they are 20 to 30% of egypt, what happens then, if you keep out you might be looking at a more dangerous situation than try the bring them in, they say they will not run anyone for president to replace president hosni mubarak and say publicly they want real democracy as well. >> alisyn: if that means separating and segregating girls and boys in school and giving girls a different curriculum and waving women wear what they tell them to. that is a different kind of

democracy. >> democracy in the middle east is one person, one vote, one time. and that is what happened in iran. so, let's see what happens here. >> dave: and these protests continue and many heads are turning to washington to see what president obama will do next. republican congressman thaddeus mccotter of michigan says: ignoring the lessons of 0 iran and failing to back our ally, the hosni mubarak government, the obama administration has created chaos and a power vacuum, one that the muslim brotherhood is undoubtedly plotting to fill. >> let's bring in illinois senator mark kirk and g.o.p. chair pat brady live from chicago. good morning, senator kirk. >> good morning. >> comments made yesterday by sarah palin, she indicated that president obama missed the 3:00 a.m. telephone call. the crisis call instead went to his answering machine.

do you agree or disagree with her assessment as to the president's handling of the egyptian crisis? >> well, in general, they were negotiating fairly well until yesterday, when the administration undercut their prime interlocutor ambassador, frank wisner and then, there are indications the administration may be signing off on negotiations, by the egyptian government with the muslim brotherhood. and that concerns me greatly. >> alisyn: senator, what do you think the answer is? i mean, former vice president dick cheney came out yesterday and said, let's remember that president mubarak has been a friend to our administration in our country. how do you think the white house should handle it. >> the hosni mubarak time has ended and appears the army has sided against him. and i think that is the central pillar of the state now. thou the u.s. should continue assistance of the army and lead a process so the egyptian government doesn't collapse and

then we have new elections. my fear is, though, that we would have a government collapse which is the way the muslim brotherhood could come to power, moving egypt into iran's pro terrorist orbit. >> dave: let's bring in the g.o.p. chairman, pat brady. good morning. >> good morning. >> dave: a lot of folks continue to look at these protests around the country and say, why is this so important to our country? and maybe the senator touched on that a little bit, the importance of relations with iran and israel, but, why is it so crucial for our purposes? >> you know, i have to defer back to senator kirk on that, she's a national security and foreign policy expert and i know my limitations. >> go ahead, senator, take a go at that one. >> representatives of the muslim brotherhood this morning on bbc world service announced they were not necessarily supportive of the camp david peace accords with israel. if they come to power, fundamental parts of the middle

east and diplomatic structure may be in question and egypt could become a terrorist supporting nation, supporting hamas and hezbollah and egypt could cancel the peace agreements with israel, and setting the staining for a middle eastern war which would be a tragedy in that region and could spike the price of oil, threatening the united states economy. all the chips are on the table in egypt and it is important for the united states to work with the democratic forces against the muslim brotherhood for a future. >> alisyn: and we do want to explain why you are here to -- what you are here to talk about is the illinois straw poll. >> i knew he'd give a good answer but we'll have a pre-primary, november 5th, one year out from the general election and the 5th largest industrial state in the country, to get an idea of who republicans and independents prefer and will give us a good measure of the intensity of the electorate and that was a factor

to our successes in 2010 and we're looking forward to the pre-primary, november 5th, 2011. >> dave: thanks for being with us this morning. >> enjoy the super bowl. >> alisyn:er headlines now, because, police are stepping up their search overnight for a missing toddler in texas, 18-month-old joshua davis was last seen friday inside his home an emergency officials along with volunteers went door-to-door throughout the neighborhood before searching a wooded area, so far no sign of them and bank of america, has agreed to pay $410 million, to settle a federal lawsuit, alleging it charged customers excessive overdraft fees. that's where all my money went! one of several filed against banks in 14 states and a spokes person says the company says the cap changed the overdraft fees, the social network, aaron sorkin

winning, best director at the guild award, and exception took home the award for best original screenplay and, both are nominated for academy awards which airs later this month. >> dave: who will win. >> alisyn: the academy award? i don't know yet. >> dave: the king's speech, rick reichmuth, a big movie fan, who is your prediction. >> rick: i haven't seen king's speech. >> alisyn: the other -- another date day for rick and me. >> dave: the weather, what we're doing. >> rick: we have rain across parts of florida, the tail end of the front that brought snow across the ohio river valley yesterday and big problems today, though, across parts of the southern plains, unfortunately, texas, really rough week that you had you warmed up yesterday above freezing, finally and now, here you go, more rain and snow moving into the area. and will be snow across the panhandle, 2-3 inches, accumulating before it moves across texas -- dallas area, tonight, maybe seeing a little bit of snow, post-game time,

probably a little bit of rain during game time and we turn our opinion attention to the pacific northwest and this afternoon we'll see rain moving across the seattle area and that storm dives through the rookies and will be another potentially big storm for us. tuesday, wednesday, thursday, across the south. and as it does we'll see quite a bit of snow accumulating again in places like oklahoma and kansas, it appears and some areas, maybe 6 to 12 inches and we'll see the snowiest month you have seen in places like oklahoma and kansas and i think the snow will be just to the north of dallas, and, then the northeast, which is dealing with so much snow, coastal areas, looks like we'll be fine, i think all the snow will be to the interior sections, which will certainly be a big break along the i-95 corridor and the temperatures will drop, your highs for the day today, the not really, really cold but the pinks move in tomorrow, 14 minneapolis and tuesday, things get cold and another cold batch, guys, a little bit of good news and some models, looks like they are indicating it may be the

last storm we deal with for a while, calls the weather pattern down and warms temperatures up, which be nice. >> alisyn: [applause]. >> alisyn: yea. >> rick: i would have lied about that, having -- >> alisyn: we gave you four hours and finally, you come up with good news. >> a push for tsa workers to get union rights and could unions put our security at risk? that is next. >> alisyn: and the trial for americans held in iran, for spying started today. and what can we expect from a country known for its questionable legal system. >> dave: and previewing what some say they're best part of the super bowl, commercials. a sneak peek at ads already. -- that's a good one. we'll be back. campbell's healthy request can help. low cholesterol, zero grams trans fat, and a healthy level of sodium.

it's amazing what soup can do. each day was fueled by thorough preparation for events to come. well somewhere along the way, emily went right on living but you see, with the help of her raymond james financiaadvisor, she had planned f every eventuality. which meant she continued to have the means to live on... even at the ripe old age of 187. life well planned. see what a raymond james advisor can do for you.

>> dave: some calling it a double win for the unions, but it may put our safety in

jeopardy, the head of the tsa announcing airports are no longer allowed to opt out and bring in private security contractors and approving collective bashing rights for the nation's 50,000 airport screeners, joining us is the associate editor of commissary at the washington examiner. good morning to you, j. p. >> good morning. >> dave: this is odd, both stories came down at the same, roughly, 24-hour period, towards the end of the week. and, here's what john mica said, the two decisions are all bad news for the traveller, taxpayer and aviation security. are they? >> yes, absolutely. part of the reason the unionization is taking place is a blow back for all of the complaints about the aggressive pat-downs the tsa has been conducting and people have not been happy with how the government employees have been operating and now will unionize which will shield them further from that kind of criticism. >> dave: and union numbers have been down in recent years, as

the good -- this would and 40,000 workers to the rolls and john pistole says, the safety of the traveling public is our top priority and we will not negotiate on security but morale an employee management cannot be separated from achieving superior security. why does this, programs, risk or security when you look at the two combiepd, tned, the fact th can no longer opt out of tsa security and they may be allowed to collective bargain. >> part of the reason they are unionizing the area is public sector employee unions have been more successful at recruiting than other areas and you have the fact that you -- they will have to discuss how they are going to set up shifts, they'll have to figure out who is working when, at what time, and, during times of heightened security, you can't have a union person say, we have to look at the schedule, that is not fair,

the person is working too much and is a bad idea to have another party try and push this. >> dave: clearly not everyone is on board. we should mention roger wicker from mississippi, introduced an amendment to explicitly ban collective bargaining and wants a votes on that as soon as monday. do you make something political, out of this issue? is it a republican-democrat issue. >> it certainly is a republican-democrat issue, if you consider how the -- both unions that are trying to recruit as many tsa employees as possible, both of them have given overwhelmingly to democrats. i just went through the listing, national treasury employees union which is one of the unions, has given overwhelmingly just to democrats, not a single republican among them and, the employees of the american federal government workers i believe which is headed by john gates gave to one republican over the last ten years. >> dave: certainly reads like a political issue, associate editor at the washington

examiner, thanks for joining us this morning? thanks for having me. >> dave: coming up, should getting fertility treatments be a right or privilege? now it depend on where you live and some say a national mandate could be on the way and then we'll go live to texas where brian kilmeade is showing us... a guess his football skills if that is what you want to call that. he played stlin game last night and trust me, you don't want to miss the, well, highlights. ♪

>> as we count down to the super bowl, headlines, president obama rebuilding ties with corporate america, heading to the chamber of commerce today, to deliver the first speech to the group of business executives since taking office. and, zsa zsa gabor is expected to head home from the hospital today, good news on her 94th birthday. she was rushed to ronald reagan ucla medical center tuesday tor a suspected internal bleeding and her husband says they'll have cake and a small celebration with friends. >> alisyn: sounds nice. if you are one of the millions of people in the country who is having a hard time having a baby, you want to hear the next segment. the department of health and human services is trying to determine whether treatments for infertility is an essential health benefit, that should be

included under the new health care reform law, joining us for a fair and balanced debate is a member of resolve, the national infertility association and has struggled with infertility for years and a policy advisor -- and i'm also a new board member of resolve and eagerly anticipating this conversation. michael, i want to start with you, isn't the ability of having children, to pro create considered essential. >> that is not the question. we have to look at how to provide adequate health care to people in a way that is affordable, to provide health care to people and the decision on what benefits will be included really needs to be decided by who will be paying for the insurance and the government is not going to be paying for those people who are going through their employers or choosing individually and the government shouldn't be making that decision. about what benefits are provided and therefore what the cost will

likely be. higher, that is, than if benefits and other valuable -- >> alisyn: sure, but when you say other valuable benefits, i know women whose can taontact l are government and allergy shots are covered but not the treatment to have a baby they desperately want. >> they have luxury health plans and would make sense for insurance companies to add benefits to their plans for people who have those benefits, like the contact lenses included, but for individuals who want more basic treatment that is more affordable for example that would provide catastrophic coverage and one of the -- it makes sense to exclude those benefits for the purpose of pricing. >> alisyn: what is your response? obviously it is about price yet i know you think this is a vital need? >> well, of course it is, alisyn, having children is fundamental to the human condition. and a choice that we make that separates us from animals, desire to have children, clearly essential and a life-sustaining

action and, more importantly, what michael's argument is, numerous studies have shown including infertility coverage in health care packages actually lowers the overall cost of health care and when people don't have coverage they made bad medical choices. for example, i woman might choose to do an intra uterine insemination, instead of a more expensive procedure and the incidence of multiplings, is more of a risk, and, the cost of multiples, premature deliveries and long nicu stays, and, the things associated with that is far more expensive and several

studies show in new jersey and massachusetts, which have the best, the premier infertility coverage in the country that costs went down after infertility treatment was mandated. >> alisyn: and we have -- at the moment the way it works, 15 states, basically infertility coverage is decided state by state and 15 states have some level of coverage though it is often on aed inadequate because, for ivf, it is $12,000 a pop, and one ivf treatment, rarely gets the job done. michael, quickly, do you consider fertility and having a child a vital medical need? >> i don't think it is a vital insurance benefit and two points/want to make, quickly. the first among the 15 states, none of them is likely a model for quality health care, and fiscal responsibility. there is no model of that nature in the nation and we also, in this debate have been ignoring the fact that the biggest question that has been plaguing domestic politics over the past two years is how to provide

quality health care at an affordable cost and align risks, incentives and costs for consumers of health care and so, saying whatever is currently working is the solution is really ignoring that fact. >> alisyn: we'll continue the debate on my blog, it is a hot topic, thanks for coming in and talking about how emotional this can be for people. we appreciate that. the trial for the three american hikers, in iran, is getting under way today, a live report coming up and something you don't see every day a kangaroo in a hotel with a special connection to "fox & friends." we'll explain. ♪ ♪ mary! hey!

♪ >> dave: welcome back, everybody to the super bowl edition of fox and friend, it is of course also the centennial celebration of ronald reagan, a lot going on today. >> alisyn: what time does the super bowl start. >> dave: 6:30 is the kick off, you have plenty of time for a nap. >> bill o'reilly's interview before that. >> dave: that will be a big

thing. >> a huge interview. >> dave: spectacular. >> alisyn: and we have a lot of news, let's get to your headlines. the first day of a closed-door trial for the american hikers accused of spying in iran, has taken place and we go live to amy kellogg in london with details. what do we know now. >> reporter: our understanding is still, the hearing for today has ended. this is day one of the trial of the american hikers. we think that it is wrapped up but as far as we can determine, the lawyer for the hikers, the cell phone is switch off and we have been trying to call as have other journalists and whether it goes on for several more days, for a period of time, or whether a decision has been made we don't know but the trial did go ahead and today and the lawyer was allowed in court however the swiss ambassador who represented u.s. interests in iran was not. now the three hikers, shane bauer, josh fattal and sarah shourd are accused of espionage

in iran and in fact iran's press tv web site is simply referring to them, as spies, not even alleged spies in its coverage today and the three game if in fact they did stray into iran, while hiking, in iraqi kyrgyzstan, they did it inadvertently and claimed their innocence as has their lawyer and the u.s. governments, alisyn. >> alisyn: amy kellogg live from london, thanks for the update. meanwhile another "fox news alert," egypt's vice president has met with' number of opposition party leaders as protesters cram the streets of cairo for a 13th day in a row, at the first meeting between omar suleiman, the new vice president an opposition groups including the banned muslim brotherhood, reportedly promised reforms including more freedom of the press, and releasing those detaid in the 13-day protest, and president hosni mubarak remains in power and the move is likely to anger protesters who want him out now and regardless, some signs of normal life are appearing in the

egyptian capital as stores, banks and restaurants open for the first time in a week. secretary of state hillary clinton addressing the meeting with the muslim brotherhood in egypt and this morning responding to the egyptian vice president's decision to meet with them, saying, she, quote, will wait and see how it all develops. right now, she's on her way home from the global security conference in germany. "fox & friends" had'a special visitor to celebrate australia day and what didn't see was jack the kangaroo, before the show, hanging out at his hotel. until now. >> jack? what are you doing? are you eating the coffee? i don't think that hotel will appreciate that. >> alisyn: he's like charlie sheen in a hotel room, and the camera caught it all on camera and thankfully, no damage was done to the room. okay? we're happy to report and i don't know where we got the

surveillance video but luckily he didn't trash it. >> dave: and we apologize to the kangaroo for the charlie sheen comparison! >> i wish... >> dave: back to the man cave where we hope it is 65, 70°. >> rick: that is why they changed all the carpets. and he is so soft and if you take two recliners, you can turn it into a bed. not bad. all right. i guess there is weather. let's talk about that. look at the weather maps, winters storm, winter weather across parts of texas and new mexico, and, that is going to be causing problems today at the super bowl. moving forward and look at the forecast, we have rain, just to the north of dallas, and is turning into freezing rain across parts of oklahoma as well and i think the temps will be the lower 40s and we will see rain later on in the evening, a

few snow flurries could cause the roads to be slick so be careful, the eastern part of the country, a cold front is moving across parts of florida, bringing rain showers, and the rest of the east coast is looking pretty good today. a few snow flurries around the chicago area but will not cause major problems, either. across the west, things also clear, however, into the pacific northwest, we are going to be watching the storm pull in and that will be a weather maker for a lot of the country, this week, again, looking at a repeat of some of the storms we have been seeing, again across the south, tuesday, wednesday, we'll talk about a winter storm again across texas, oklahoma, kansas and eventually the southeast. all right, back to you inside. good night! >> dave: good night, rick! >> hey, brian... are you there? tell us what is going on? >> reporter: as you requested, the chopper arrived just as we are trying to talk.

i could scream... and, looking at -- they are looking for the 7th super bowl championship, in that he 8th try and the rooneys are... owned the team since 1933 and joining once of the rooney family, art rooney, jr., welcome to the show. >> terrific to be here. >> we are thrilled. you can't feel the shock you are going to the super bowl, is it old hat for you. >> it never gets old hat for you. you get used to it. >> as people start to see pictures, i'm amazed at the history of your family and the team. people think of pittsburgh as champions and you started the team in 1933, your dad does and, you are known as the pittsburgh pirates and don't win anything for 39 years, don't win a division. >> i said it was like moses wandering through the desert 40 years, and, you know, turned it around, and my father, you know,

turned it over to my brother, dan, and scotty and to me, and we got very, very lucky, dan hired a guy named chuck noel, and, he was a fit for us, and rather religious guy, my dad was that way and he went to 40 de y derbies, up to quebec, the shrine of ste. anne 50 times and he was a strange guy, sort of religious but he was a gambler and a tv sghough guy. >> and he had a bunch of kids, and, in the '70s you scouted terry bradshaw and, a lot of those guys were from the area. >> they sure were and the -- we had joe green from here in denton and north texas state and, texas southern and houston and dwight white and, greenwood

from arkansas and, mel blunt, the great mel blunt from baton rouge. >> you guys, known that's city of champions now. >> that's right. >> and what does it say about the team and league, a team like pittsburgh and green bay to be successful and everyone caught up in the big market and the big money. >> turned out, the -- browns were the team of the decade in the 1950s and lombardi and the packers in the '60s and the steelers in the '70s and i marvel at that, the small markets can properly manage, can be the teams of the decade. >> and and a tough time with ben roethlisberger and the people of pittsburgh, as good as he is, they brought you two super bowls and said that is not what they want the steelers to be. >> that is amazing and, thank heavens ben kind of straightened his act out and i sure hope and i think he'll be okay. >> you are optimistic there will

not be a lockout, right. >> i feel that way. too much money is involved for everybody. you know? i think some of the players, they are making all the dough, if they go on strike, and go on strike, we're from pittsburgh, and the steelworkers and the coal miners are there. >> you can't do that. and a pleasure to meet you and for your family, i know it is an extremely special day and i hope everything turns out good for you. >> thank you, i do, too. we didn't come down here to lose. >> i glad you came down to be with us. back to the studio, guys, back to you. from here, outside cowboys stadium. >> dave: and the rooney family is a model of consistency and do it the right way. >> alisyn: we'll see what happens. meanwhile, egypt's vice president meeting the controversial muslim brotherhood as protesters continue to fill cairo's streets, you can see the square there, and, does the white house need to step in now. >> who is in trouble? well, lindsay lohan, in trouble

again, how a jewelry jam could spend her back to the slammer. >> dave: oh, lindsey and first we promised you a sneak peek at bowl ads and here's one from godaddy.com. >> we are not doing it! >> we have done racy commercial before. >> but this is over the top. >> thank you, we're here to promote go daddy, not have crazy stunts. >> we are contractually obligated. >> girls, come into set. >> everybody is... >> go daddy......♪ >> see more now at godaddy.com.

>> dave: everybody time fire few quick headlines, this is the scene outside, a police stationen tunisia, where police opened fire trying to stop a violent crowd, a news station

reports thousands began throwing stones and fire bombs after one of the authorities assaulted a woman. two people were killed and 17 injured and lindsay lohan will be charged with felony grand theft as early as tomorrow. according to tmz, she is charged for allegedly stealing a $2500 necklace and means the 24-year-old could head to jail for 6 months for violating her probation, and lohan insists she borrowed the jewelry and alisyn, for one, believes her. peter might have to defend her. >> okay. protesters filling the streets of cairo for a 13th day with no end in sight as protests continue many look to washington, so, what should happen next? >> the senior editor for defense and foreign policy, and also lived and reported for 20 years in the middle east. good morning, jonathan. >> good morning.

>> alisyn: in fact i should mention you covered anwar sadat's assassination and the aftermath of that in 1981. were you surprised to hear the muslim brotherhood is now meeting with the vice president, omar suleiman? >> i was, actually, because the opposition so far has refused to meet with vice president suleiman and their condition is that, first hosni mubarak has to step down and so you have a break from the opposition with the muslim brotherhood going ahead and conducting these meetings. showing the opposition is not really unified. >> as americans we are always ecstatic at the prospect of any people who have been repressed finding democracy. the people in egypt, 80 million of them, will they find democracy as a result of the 13 days of protests or find something else? >> well, we don't really know yet. we do know that hosni mubarak is on his way out. he had said he will not run

again in september and that his son, gamal, all will not run. in effect, the vice president, omar suleiman, is in charge of the government right now and he's the one make decisions. and what he asked of the west and the west has agreed, is to let him conduct an orderly transition where he makes constitutional changes, and meets with opposition groups, so they can pave the way for a fair and democratic election, come september. >> alisyn: obviously, it also makes westerners and americans nervous to think the muslim brotherhood will be in some position of power, when we know their repressive views of women for one and lots of things, is that what will happen there. >> if you were to have an election right now in egypt, the muslim brotherhood would probably win anywhere between 20 and 30%. the fact that so many other

opposition groups have sprung up that are secular, and youth based, dilutes the power of the muslim brotherhood. i'm not saying they don't have views that many americans don't prefer, but, they are not as strong an opposition group as we originally believed. >> senior editor jonathan broder of cq. >> alisyn: before the super bowl, brian shows us his alleged football skills. from a celebrity game last night. you don't want to miss the highlights. what happened to brian? >> he's a scrapper! two. there's the life you live... and the life you want to live. fortunately there's enbrel. enbrel can help relieve pain, stiffness, fatigue, and stop joint damage. because enbrel suppresses your immune system, it may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal, events

including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, and other cancers, and nervous system and blood disorders have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis. ask your doctor if you live or have lived in an area where certain fungal infections are common. don't start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if, while on enbrel, you experience persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. ask your rheumatologist if enbrel is right for you. and help bridge the gap between the life you live... and the life you want to live.
